elliott
in magnet, free mp3s, gigography and heatmiser group!

thanks to
ani, abha, and brad about elliott being in the latest issue of magnet.
here is ani:

just
bought the latest magnet magazine (sept/oct 2003 with radiohead on the
cover) and found a page dedicated to elliott. it's the magazine's 10
year anniversary and they feature 10 artists i guess they seem to think
made a valuable impact in the last 10 years. the article is just a rudimentary
rundown of elliott but it's nice of them to recognize him, good photo
too.

abha adds:
they also listed xo as album #12 in their top 60 albums of 1993-2003.
it's a good issue, lots of good bands are profiled.

thanks to
lido for adding 3 new shows to his site, elliott smith mini-repository,
free to download. the 3 shows are 4/1/03 at detroit bar, costa mesa,
ca, 5/28/03 at the derby, los angeles, ca, and 8/3/03 at the derby,
los angeles, ca. remember these shows are free and it's great way to
start your bootleg collection so you don't have to buy them!

also, elliott
smith gigography recently update their site with a whole bunch of new
information concerning show and bootleg information. please give them
more info if you have it! thanks to jill and jerry.

finally,
thanks to helio for sending word that there is a new mailing list dedicated
to elliott's old band, heatmiser! the list is described as 'a didactical
and introspective view and analysis of heatmiser from beginning to end...
' if you want to join this list, please join at yahoo groups here! (8.20.03)

kinks
tribute and southlander coming to dvd!

thanks to
daisy and demo for sending/posting info about last night's kink's tribute.
here is daisy with some thoughts:

they did
four songs. for the first one, elliott played lead guitar only; one
of the guys from physical plant sang lead and played rhythm. i don't
know the title of the song. the guitars were out of tune so at the end
of the number a physical plant guy spent kind of awhile tuning up. elliott
did not really talk to or interact with the crowd. people shouted out
names of kinks songs as if they were requests, but elliott did not react.
for the second song, the guys in the band started to trade places and
switch instruments. elliott jacked up the mic and stepped up to sing
lead and play rhythm guitar on "dead end street", a great
choice and one of the more recognizable kinks songs. this was the best
moment of the set. for the third song, instruments/positions were traded
again, and elliott moved to drums. (a physical plant guy stood alongside
him and played the hi-hat on the kit.) i don't know the name of the
song but musically it almost fell apart. the guys all cracked up a lot
as they appeared to have hardly rehearsed the material but were trying
sincerely to pull it off. for the fourth and final number elliott got
up and shifted to lead singer (no guitar), again i don't know the name
of the song but it was a loose and sloppy rendition. then somebody from
the stage (i don't remember who) said, "that's it", and the
song as well as the evening kind of sputtered out.

demo adds:
the band members who played with him are called robin (you all know
robin by now), fritz (you are beginning to get to know fritz, he is
helping elliott out with his record, and he has alot of really good
energy) and *pulls out piece of paper from her pocket* jeff. jeff is
from d.c. and used to play in a band called grey matter.

she also
mentioned that they played 'big sky' too.

thanks to
chris for taking the time to send us info about 'southlander' coming
to dvd in october! elliott has a very brief moment in the movie directed
by steve hafnt and we are unsure if elliott's song 'splitsville' will
appear in it (a clips is available at the southlander.net site). here
is chris with some more nfo:

i thought
you might be interested to know that southlander will be available on
dvd 7 october. i don't know anything else about the release, other than
that amazon is selling it for $14.99. (8.4.03)
